Welcome to 125 Upper Elgin River Road, where you will find turn-of-the-century Victorian charm, a spacious heated pool, hot tub, pickleball court, putting green, and ample room to roam - all on a beautiful 10 acres nestled just south of downtown Elgin. In 1900, William H Rivers, an early founder of ...Elgin, moved his family into a home built on a hill overlooking the town. This sturdy red brick mansion stayed in the Rivers family for over 100 years, has been beautifully maintained and updated, and still offers the same breathtaking views of the open countryside. This sprawling estate is the perfect combination of old world architecture and modern amenities, balancing tasteful remodeling with original woodwork throughout. With four working fireplaces, a grand porte-cochère, and beautiful magnolias, this home is straight out of a storybook. The main house features three living spaces and a formal dining room, with additional living space in the guest house. Three of the main house bedrooms offer en suite bathrooms, with two opening directly to the second story wrap-around porch. The three-story southwest-facing turret offers unique architectural character, as well as cozy reading nooks and views of downtown Austin and the Domain. The expansive unfinished attic provides an opportunity to add a substantial primary suite, an office, or additional living space with vaulted ceilings. Outside the 5,000+ sf of living space, this entertainer's dream offers a generous escape, while still providing direct access to downtown Elgin (0.7 miles to HEB) and is proximate the development in neighboring Manor, Bastrop, Taylor and Austin. The seller has completed all but the final step in subdividing the home and gated three acres from the surrounding seven acres. Seller is willing to pause the subdivision and keep the estate intact, or complete the subdivision and sell the parcels separately. There is also an opportunity to purchase the furniture that is currently in the home.
